Many heroes emerged during the WW1, one in particular was Noel Godfrey Chavasse who was twice awarded the VC during WW1.

Many heroes emerged during the First World War, but only one man was twice awarded the Victoria Cross during that conflict. This was Captain Noel Godfrey Chavasse, serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps as Medical Officer to the 10th Battalion, the King?s (Liverpool Regiment) - the Liverpool Scottish.The author has unearthed a forgotten archive of his letters from the Front and been allowed access to the Chavasse family correspondence, photographs and other documents.The result is a fascinating study of a man who, while typical in almost every way of the Victorian/Edwardian middle class stands out for his simple courage and unflinching devotion to duty.This is a deeply moving story about a modest but heroic man seen against the background of his devoted family and the grim realities of the First World War.
